The stand offers an excellent elevated view of the pitch though it does have a couple of columns that may impede your view. Unusually players emerge through a tunnel towards the east corner rather than on the pitch centre line. It has 2,742 dark grey seats on a single tier concrete deck, with the players dressing rooms and an executive lounge built into the concourse below.

This replaced the original low wooden Main Stand. The newest part of the stadium is the Jodi Stand, on one side which was opened in 1999 at a cost of just over £1 million.

Sadly, for safety reasons, the last decade has seen the stadium capacity drastically reduced to the point that now only two sides of the ground are in use. Once inside it is easy to see why Dalymount Park was once capable of holding 45,000 capacity crowds in its heyday, when it regularly hosted both International fixtures and FAI Cup Finals up to 2002. As far as we are aware the iron arch originally stood above the black gate entrance to the St Peters School end but was moved to its current position after Bohemian won the League title in 2005. Up close the ground is very much hemmed in by its surroundings, and having bare concrete walls on three sides the rear of the Jodi Stand with its dark grey cladding, red and white turnstile entrances is a very welcome sight, as is the iron arch bearing the club name. Situated in the north of Dublin, in the suburb of Phibsborough it is surrounded on two sides by Victorian housing, a school and a 1960's concrete shopping centre, however, its tall floodlights-erected in 1962, are visible from miles around.

Dalymount Park or “Dalyer” as it is affectionately known is one of the few football grounds to retain all the history and characteristics that many older fans insist is missing in modern all-seater stadiums.
